Artificial reef structures have been installed in Sydney Harbour to help reestablish oyster populations. Crushed oyster shells from the Sydney Fish Market are being used as an aggregate in the concrete mix instead of pebbles or rocks. Oysters colonise by building on other oyster shells. The artificial structures incorporate reclaimed oyster shells into the build material, supporting marine life colonisation.
